Catrice Prime and Fine Highlighting Powder 010 Fairy Dust-Review, Photos



Company/Brand Claim: Highlighting powder for a luminous glow.

For Skin Type: All

Packaging: Sleek black hard plastic compact. Opens easily with a thumb press.

Product Consistency: - Sheer

Formulation: Pressed powder.

Texture and Feel: It has a smooth texture and doesn't cake.

Color: Nude pink with a hint of champagne shimmer

Fragrance: None

Application: I apply it with a powder brush above my blush for a soft highlight. It is build-able but cannot be blended .

Result: This shade I assume is for fair toned girls as it does not show luminous on my medium skin.The finish is smooth but sheer and it doesn't show unless applied heavily with a "dense" brush. I haven't used it with a sponge. If you're into sheer natural looking makeup, this is worth a purchase but if you want a real highlight and are looking for proper coverage then this product is disappointing in that regard.

Staying Power: 30 minutes to an hour. May stay longer if used over primer.

Times Tested:  4 times use
 
Cons: The lid does not have a mirror and a proper application brush/sponge/puff would have helped.

Anything Else: -

Made In: Poland

Catrice Prime and Fine Highlighting Powder comes in a 11 grams case with no other colors available. They had colors previously but they have been discontinued I guess, because I couldn't find them on the official site either.

Rating: 2.5/5



Take it:

You're looking for a sheer highlighter
You want a natural finish
You're into light/sheer makeup
You have fair skin
You find it affordable

Leave it:

You prefer more coverage
You're looking for a proper hihglight
It seems difficult to apply
It doesn't seem convenient.

Price: Rs. 840/- 
Available at: Available online at Just4girls.pk and Beauty Arena. Catrice also has a counter at Naheed's.

Conclusion: I expected it to work quite well, but it doesn't give me any reasons to like it. Waste of money. Recommended? No.
